? Y2- Y--Y - - The Americans of 76 We are the Americans of '76, . .we have graduatedfrom Sandia High School in the year of our nation's Bicentennial. . .graduation has now become only a memory in our minds as we step forward. . . The Sandia High School Commencement Exercises of1 976 were held at the University ofNew Mexico's Arena on Monday, May 31, 1976. Looking back we all remember our graduation rehearsal.. .we arrived at 1:45 p.m. but didn't get started until2:15. . . we remember. . .the cards, thefolding chairs with our names on them. . .going through the program. . .Mueller telling us when everything would happen. It took the boys a while to learn when to put on their caps. . .and when to take them off. . .and when to sit down andput them on again! Then we practiced receiving our diplomas. . . when Mrs. Coffey steppedforward thefirst row was to rise. . . but afew people in the back row thought it would be allright if they stood up too. . . but Mr. Mueller didn't think it was toofunny and told them how stupid they were. . . then after thefifth try, the Class of'76finally got it right. . . Mr. Mueller was happy!!! Then came afirstfor Sandia rehearsals . . . as Mueller counted offrows, the Class began to clap to the beat of his counting... leave it to the Class of 1976 to do something original. . . then as a class, we walked up 68 steps of the arena and outside to form the two long lines in which we would enter our graduation on Monday. The moment came on Memorial Day. . . excitement and confusion mounted as 713 Seniors from Sandia High Schoolprepared to graduate. . . at least 400 caps would not stay on even though they were hobby- pinned... 713 people were dying because long gowns are not cool in the hot sun... but, despite allminor problems, the graduates lined up outside in rows to preparefor their commencement exercises ...... 1 X 2 9, Wm- mmmefrf AZl ' ,mb l ,
